Key Points

This paper investigates metaprogramming through C++, drawing connections to its theoretical foundations.
Examined metaprogramming methods such as SFINAE and template specialization in C++.
Compared metaprogramming in LISP with imperative programming in C++.
Demonstrated a program using the Abstract Factory design pattern by A. Alexandrescu.
Provided an analysis of C++ metaprogramming techniques.
Illustrated practical applications of metaprogramming, enhancing understanding of functional programming styles.

Implication

Examines metaprogramming techniques in C++, highlighting implications for programming style.

Abstract

The paper examines metaprogramming as a form of declarative programming with roots in Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. A comparison is drawn between metaprogramming in LISP and imperative programming in C++. The C++ template language is considered as an example of metaprogramming. Methods of C++ metaprogramming are examined: SFINAE, template specialisation, and others. A program solving the Abstract Factory design pattern problem formulated by A. Alexandrescu is demonstrated.
